  • Structure and Vertical Stratification of Plant Galler- Parasitoid Food Webs in Two Tropical Forests

PANIAGUA1, ENRIQUE MEDIANERO1 and OWEN T. LEWIS2 1 Programs Centroamericano de Maestria en Entomologia, Vicerrectoria de Investigacion y Postgrado, Universidad de Panama, Ciudad de Panama, Panama and 2 Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, U.K. Abstract. 1. Networks of feeding interactions among insect herbivores and natural enemies such as parasitoids, describe the structure of these assemblages and may be critically linked to their dynamics and stability. The present paper describes the first quantitative study of parasitoids associated with gall-inducing insect assemblages in the tropics, and the first investigation of vertical stratification in quantitative food web structure. 2. Galls and associated parasitoids were sampled in the understorey and canopy of Parque Natural Metropolitano in the Pacific forest, and in the understorey of San Lorenzo Protected Area in the Caribbean forest of Panama. Quantitative host-parasitoid food webs were constructed for each assemblage, including 34 gall maker species, 28 host plants, and 57 parasitoid species. 3. Species richness was higher in the understorey for parasitoids, but higher in the canopy for gall makers. There was an almost complete turnover in gall maker and parasitoid assemblage composition between strata, and the few parasitoid species shared between strata were associated with the same host species. 4. Most parasitoid species were host specific, and the few polyphagous parasitoid species were restricted to the understorey. 5. These results suggest that, in contrast to better-studied leaf miner-parasitoid assemblages, the influence of apparent competition mediated by shared parasitoids as a structuring factor is likely to be minimal in the understorey and practically absent in the canopy, increasing the potential for coexistence of parasitoid species.

NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 93 Washington : 1943 No. 3170 THE NORTH AMERICAN PARASITIC WASPS OF THE GENUS TETRASTICHUS—A CONTRIBUTION TO BIO- LOGICAL CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS By B. D. Burks* The genus Tetrastichus Haliday (Hymenoptera : Eulophidae) in- cludes a large number of species of minute chalcid-flies. These may be either primary parasites or hyperparasites, and they attack a wide variety of hosts (see host list hereinafter), including such destructive pests ib the Hessian fly and the cotton boll weevil and many kinds of fchrips, aphids, midges, leaf miners, scales, tent caterpillars, borers, roaches, beetles, and gall-makers injurious to agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. The}* have been reared from the eggs, larvae, and pupae of other insects, as well as from many plant galls. Economi- cally, therefore, this is an important group of the Chaleidoidea, and a thorough understanding of its species and relationships is desirable. Twenty-three species are herein described for the first time. From a taxonomic standpoint this genus is a difficult one for several reasons. The species are so small that very good microscope equipment is needed for studying them. Specimens are only lightly sclerotized, so that they almost invariably shrivel badly in drying; this tends to conceal or distort their morphological characters. It has not, however, been possible satisfactorily to study specimens pre- served in alcohol or on slides. There is, furthermore, a great lack of good, definite morphological characters for the separation of species Acknowledgment is made to the Illinois State Natural History Survey, Urbana, 111., for granting the author a leave of absence on two occasions, which permitted him to accept a temporary appointment by the U.

  • The Gall Midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) from Three Restingas of Rio De Janeiro State, Brazil
    The gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) from three restingas of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil Valeria Cid Maia 1 ABSTRACT. One hundred and eight species ofCecidomyiinae (Cecidomyiidae) were found in association with 53 species of plant distributed among 42 genera and 32 families at restingas of Barra de Marica, ltaipua~u and Carapebus. Ninety four gall midge species were cecidogenous, four predaceous, five inquilinous of galls and five were free living. Galling species were associated with 47 plant species belonging to 36 genera and 28 families. The majority of the galls occurred on the leaves (N = 63); 13 on buds; nine on inflorescence, closed flower or flower peduncle; tlu-ee on fruits and one on tendril. Myrtaceae were the richest plant family in number of galls followed by Burseraceae, Nyctaginaceae, Sapotaceae, Elythroxylaceae, Malpighiaceae and Solanaceae. New records of host plants and localities were recorded. Seventy nine Cecidomyiinae species were tound at Restinga of Barra de Marica, 64 at Carapebus and 41 at Itaipua~lI. Sorensen's index revealed that the restingas of Barra de Marica and Itaipua~u are more similar in Cecidomyiinae fauna , confirming a positive relation between geographical proximity and fauna similarity. KEY WORDS. Cecidomyiidae, Diptera, gall, restinga The restinga or coastal shrub zone is a very complex environment whose diversity is exceeded only by rain forests. Their flora has been originated from the Atlantic Forest and the plant families best represented in these areas are Legumino­ sae, Rubiaceae, Orchidaceae, Myrtaceae, Poaceae, Bromeliaceae and Compositae. Among them, Myrtaceae contributes significantly to its flora characterisation, being Eugenia Linnaeus the biggest genus in number of species (RIZZrN l 1979).

  • Níveis De Tolerância Em Acessos E Cultivares Da Gramínea Forrageira Panicum Maximum À Cigarrinha Notozulia
    10o CICAM 49 NÍVEIS DE TOLERÂNCIA EM ACESSOS E CULTIVARES DA GRAMÍNEA FORRAGEIRA PANICUM MAXIMUM À 017 CIGARRINHA NOTOZULIA ENTRERIANA (HEMIPTERA: CERCOPIDAE).* SILVA, L.C.**; VALÉRIO, J.R.; TORRES, F.Z.V.; RÔDAS, P.L.**; OLIVEIRA, M.C.M. Embrapa Gado de Corte, Laboratório de Entomologia de Plantas Forrageiras Tropicais, Av. Rádio Maia, 830, CEP 79106-550, Campo Grande, MS, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Levels of tolerance in accessions and cultivars of the forage grass Panicum maximum to the spittlebug Notozulia entreriana (Hemiptera: Cercopidae). Os danos causados pelas cigarrinhas-das-pastagens têm se constituído importante restrição biótica dentro da bovinocultura de corte nacional. As cigarrinhas reduzem a produção, a qualidade e a capacidade de suporte das pastagens. Há a necessidade de se avaliar e propor métodos alternativos de controle, considerando que o uso de inseticidas químicos em pastagens é consid- erado antieconômico. A utilização de gramíneas forrageiras resistentes a esses insetos apresenta grande potencial. Na Embrapa Gado de Corte, germoplasmas de gramíneas forrageiras têm sido avaliados quanto à resistência às cigarrinhas. Neste ensaio, 5 acessos da espécie Panicum maximum de códigos H8; H46; H64; T46 e T65, juntamente com os cultivares testemunhas P. maximum cv. Tanzânia, Mombaça e Massai, foram avaliados quanto ao nível de tolerância à cigarrinha das pastagens Notozulia entreriana. As gramíneas foram comparadas quanto aos danos causados por adultos dessa cigarrinha, com base nos níveis de clorose (dano típico da cigarrinha), estimados através do medidor de clorofila SPAD meter Minolta 520. Foram utilizados 20 vasos (capacidade 2 kg de solo) para cada acesso e cultivar, sendo que, no início do teste, em todos eles as plantas foram uniformizadas a 35 cm, e engaioladas.
